Detailed explanation-1: -The Spanish attitude toward the Indians was that they saw themselves as guardians of the Indians basic rights. The Spanish goal was for the peaceful submission of the Indians. The laws of Spain controlled the conduct of soldiers during wars, even when the tribes were hostile.
Detailed explanation-2: -In America, events took their own course. The Spanish conquistadors, who went to Hispaniola and then to other Caribbean islands and finally to the mainland, were rough and violent. They took what they wanted, and when the Indians resisted–or even when they did not–the conquistadors attacked and slaughtered them.
Detailed explanation-3: -In addition to the enslavement of rebellious natives, Columbus initiated the practice of tribute. Under this system each Indian male was required to gather and turn in a certain amount of gold every ninety days. If he failed, the Indian was subject to a death penalty.
Detailed explanation-4: -A priest named Bartolomé de Las Casas said that the Spanish should try to convert Native Americans to Christianity by showing them love, gentleness, and kindness.
